Gear and Automatic Transmission Fluids by Gulf Oil Trade
Precision Lubrication for Smooth Shifts & Maximum Gear Protection
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is a hydraulic fluid that is essential for the proper functioning of vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. Usually, it is coloured red or green to differentiate it from motor oil and other fluids in the vehicle. This fluid is designed to meet the unique demands of an automatic transmission. It is formulated to ensure smooth valve operation, minimize brake band friction, facilitate torque converter function, and provide effective gear lubrication.
ATF is commonly utilized as a hydraulic fluid in certain power steering systems, as a lubricant in select 4WD transfer cases, and in modern manual transmissions.
Elevate your vehicle’s performance with advanced Gear Oils and Automatic Transmission Fluids (ATF). These lubricants ensure reliable operation, smooth gear changes, and long-lasting protection for both automatic and manual transmission systems.
ATF Dexron II & Dexron III
Designed for automatic and semi-automatic transmissions, these advanced fluids exceed GENERAL MOTORS Dexron II and Dexron III specifications. They are engineered to provide smooth shifting, oxidation resistance, and thermal stability across a wide range of temperatures—from cold starts to high-heat operations, ensuring consistent performance and minimal wear.
ATF Type-A Suffix-A
Crafted for systems that require Type-A Suffix-A fluid, this transmission oil offers excellent lubrication, low friction characteristics, and outstanding corrosion resistance. It maintains a high viscosity index and a low pour point, making it reliable in cold climates and under varying load conditions.
Gear Oils SAE 90 GL-5 & SAE 140 GL-5
Built for heavy-duty performance, these gear oils are compliant with API GL-5 and MIL-L-2105 specifications. Reinforced with Extreme Pressure (EP) additives, they provide superior protection against wear, pitting, rust, and foaming in gearboxes, transfer cases, and axles. They are particularly effective in shock-load and high-torque applications, helping maintain gear integrity and extend service life.
Heavy-Duty Gear Oils for Maximum Load Handling
Gear Oils are engineered for superior performance in the most demanding environments. These high-performance lubricants provide exceptional gear protection, thermal stability, and load-carrying capability for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.
Gear Oil Offerings:

Key Benefits of Gear Oils:
- Extreme Pressure Resistance
EP additives form a durable protective film to minimize metal-to-metal contact, even under shock-loading and heavy-duty conditions. - Wear and Rust Protection
Provides robust defense against pitting, corrosion, and abrasive wear, even during prolonged idle periods or in moisture-prone environments. - Oxidation Control
Resists thermal degradation, ensuring oil stability and maintaining optimal viscosity across extended service intervals. - Broad Temperature Range
Delivers consistent performance and smooth gear operation from sub-zero cold starts to extreme heat environments.
Industry Standards:
Gear Oils meet and exceed:
- API GL-5
- MIL-L-2105D
This ensures compatibility and reliability across a wide range of vehicles and machinery, making them the preferred choice for fleet operators, repair workshops, heavy equipment users, and industrial transmission systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Grease & Lubricants
Oils flow and cool components—best for high-speed, high-heat applications
Greases stay in place and protect under pressure—ideal for low-speed or sealed components
Choose based on speed, temperature, and lubrication points.
It depends on:
- Operating environment (wet, dusty, high-temp)
- Load and speed of machinery
- OEM recommendations
Condition monitoring (vibration, ultrasound) helps optimize regreasing intervals.
Selecting grease for high-temperature applications requires evaluating:
- Dropping point and thermal stability
- Oxidation resistance
- Shear stability
- Water resistance
- Compatibility with seals and surrounding materials
Choose greases formulated with synthetic oils or lithium complex thickeners for extended high-temp protection.
Absolutely. The right grease:
- Reduces friction and wear
- Minimizes heat build-up
- Protects against corrosion
- Maintains consistency under load
Using the wrong grease can result in early bearing failure and increased maintenance costs.
Signs include:
- Discoloration or odor
- Hardening, softening, or oil separation
- Increased noise or vibration from equipment
Routine inspections and grease analysis can prevent costly breakdowns.
NLGI grade refers to grease consistency—from very fluid (NLGI 000) to firm (NLGI 3). Choose based on application:
- NLGI 0 or 00: Centralized systems and gearboxes
- NLGI 1 or 2: General machinery and bearings
- NLGI 3: Sealed or vertical bearings that require thicker grease
Opt for lithium complex greases when:
- You need high thermal resistance (above 180°C)
- Long service intervals are required
- The application involves heavy or shock loads
- You’re dealing with water washout conditions or harsh environments
EP additives enhance a grease’s ability to:
- Prevent metal-to-metal contact under heavy loads
- Resist wear during shock loading
- Extend component life in gear-driven or industrial applications
They are essential in construction, mining, and heavy equipment.
Mixing incompatible greases can lead to:
- Grease breakdown
- Blockages in lubrication systems
- Reduced protection and performance
Always refer to a grease compatibility chart before switching and purge old grease when uncertain.
Food-grade greases must:
- Be NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact or H2 for no contact
- Be non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless
- Offer strong water resistance and anti-wear protection
- Comply with hygiene and safety standards for food manufacturing environments
To maximize efficiency and lifespan in electric motors:
- Use grease with excellent oxidation resistance and low oil bleed
- Avoid over-lubrication
- Select low-noise greases with high-purity base oils
- Establish scheduled lubrication intervals based on manufacturer guidance
